Readers’ Choice nominations available on NewsOK.com

It’s that time of year again. Readers’ Choice nominations.

I could spend a lot of time explaining it, but frankly, our Reader’s Choice page handles it pretty well.

Today, The Oklahoman announces its 2009 Readers’ Choice Awards. We want you, the reader, to nominate your personal favorites in each of our 180 categories under six major topics: Food, Lifestyles, Shopping, Community, Travel and Local People, Places and Things. As an example: under restaurants, give us your choice for best American food, best Chinese, or best place to have breakfast. Every time you nominate or vote, you enter yourself into the drawings.

We will be taking nominations until May 26. Voting on the finalists will begin on June 11. Results of the voting will be announced July 26.

But it all starts with your nominations, which, for the first time, you can do entirely online on NewsOK.com.
